You follow the cars motion with the camera. Like in my picture:

[PininfarinaPIMP]

Oh yeah, i do that when i take all my motion pics but my digital has that lag and the cars are going soo ****ing fast that i get the ass of the car...

[Cotterik]

well then your just too late then :p either that or you arent parallel with the track, as was johnny. Just pretend your camera is magnetic to the car, and follow it, take the photo when its in the position you require. Flawless by theory.

[johnnynumfiv]

I entered one like that a few months ago it didnt win by 1 vote because there was speculation over the fact that most ppl thought it belonged in the general photo comp :o

i think it would be safe to say that i could, and just because i DIDNT take a picture of two porsches and then think im god on earth, doesnt mean i couldnt, if i was in the stands at a race i could take a picture every bit as good as yours, so get off your high horse, it wasnt that extraordinary of a picture

[Cotterik]

alrite guys dont want to give the competition a bad name just leave the photos as they are let the votes do the talking.

I just realised i never enter this comp :confused:

Something tells me his front to rear brake ratios are a bit off... ;)

[RacingManiac]

Weight transfer....;) FWD car, ~ 60/40 f/r static, probably 90/10 under braking....high roll stiffness in the rear, trail braking into a left hander....no weight on inside rear wheel...

nice pic, data though are incorrect, the highest mountain pass in Europe is the Col de la Bonette in the Alpes Maritimes, which is just over 2800 metres high. It is possible to reach higher places by car, but never as a pass. The Sierra Nevada in Spain has a road that goes up to 3,300 metres, but that has been closed off for normal traffic not so long ago.

The GrossGlockner Strasze is just over 2500 metres.

[Esperante]

Thanks alot netburner!

There's nothing to be worried about, it's a bad photo of a dirty, but beautiful car. If the voters know anything about the Civic rule, then I'm confident this photo won't get much appreciation.

so you win one competition and suddenly you're andy warhol eh?
His point is that prolonged exposure shots have become overused. There should also be a 'Civic rule' for these shots too, try to apply some value to it. I regret ever posting my time lapse from nearly a year ago in an automotive comp (which itself caused great controversy)...

I'd save that one for the next comp, the voting threads have already been made for this one. Not sure when the next comp is going up though...:confused:

[Rockefella]

Sorry guys, I can no longer run this comp, so if someone could take over it'd be appreciated. I'm just too busy at the moment with other 'life' things. Once again, I'm sorry.

[Cotterik]

I'll do it rock, I'll start it tomorrow so the voting starts every monday.

[Rockefella]

Thanks, I appreciate it Rik. I kept forgetting the deadlines of the comps I run, and with college apps in full-swing, along with normal school work, moderation/posting on other boards, it just became a little too much.
